Children's β¦ Penny’s Take
Dear Millie
Mission City Press Β· 2003
The conceit of letting a beloved fictional character answer questions submitted by real girls is smart, and the questions sourced from actual readers give this a relevance that generic devotional guides for girls often lack. The biblical grounding is consistent without being heavy-handed, and the character-based framing keeps advice feeling like wisdom from a friend rather than a lecture. Outside the A Life of Faith readership, it won't travel far, but for its intended audience β Christian girls aged eight to fourteen and their families β this does its job well.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below.
